My response was specific to a quote you provided from the DD-WRT forums, wherein someone said, "Start with the peacock announcement....Could be a WAN issue, a build issue, a reset issue, or a wireless encryption issue..." The "Peacock" thread (not announcement) is here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51486 I think my statement missed a word in the first sentence, which should have read, "This refers to the latest firmware revision." I might have been over-generalizing, though, as that thread is quite good all around. AFAIK, 2.3 SP2 should work fine (at least standard; I don't recall whether I've ever done it under mini). >> >> If you are able to connect to your LAN but not get out to the >> internet, are you getting a valid default gateway pushed down to you? > > HUH??? > >> DHCP should be *off* in the G and *on* in the GS. > > Off where? > Okay, let's back up.
